The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., is a privately owned and operated non-profit organization that receives no federal or national church funding. It is governed by a Board of Trustees, which includes cardinals, archbishops, bishops, members of the clergy, religious, and the laity. It is a "national" shrine by virtue of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Generations of American Roman Catholics contributed to the building of this church with its first contribution given in 1909; the faithful continue to contribute to keep it maintained and operating as a house of worship and pilgrimage.
